When someone visits our website, we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

We may also use this information to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you want to remain on our mailing list. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

We use a third-party provider, Mailchimp, to deliver emails to people on our mailing list. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our mailings. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice.
